Alex Otti, the Labour Party Governorship Aspirant, in response to the suspension of collation in the Abia state governorship elections, urged supporters to remain calm.
He told reporters that he and his party members had accepted the decision of INEC in “good faith” and would wait to see how it’s handled.
“I spoke to the press and our teeming supporters who had packed to our campaign headquarters, ready to rejoice our victory at the just concluded election. We accepted in good faith the decision by INEC to scrutinize the dubious result from Obingwa.

“Obingwa has become a terror ground because of the desperation of the PDP in Abia state. Even though that times have changed, they returned to their usual election rigging strategy.
“The situation shows massive rigging with unaccredited votes. THis recourse to violence that had our Obingwa LG agent Dr George Chiedozie assaulted by PDP thugs. I urge Ndi Abia to remain calm as we await INEC to do the right thing.”
The Labour Party candidate seems very confident in his position as the winner; we are yet to see if the results will bear him out.
